My honest review of my college.

Placements: Placements are good with a lot of pharma-related companies coming into recruit skilled and able students. Internships in college are a true possibility with professors who lead multidisciplinary labs. No stipend is provided for the internship. We are the first batch of M.Sc. students to be sitting for placements, so prior information is not available yet.

Infrastructure: Hostel infrastructure is good, it has good sports facilities and a strict no alcohol, cigarette, and drugs policy with wardens who keep things in order and strict timings for entry and exit. The cost for mess is a little high considering that they only serve vegetarian food.

Faculty: Structured well to give a proper and deep understanding of the life Science field. The graduate programme is one of the best in the country, with adequate exposure to research-based skills. Exams are conducted thrice a semester, and all marks are taken into consideration for the final CGPA. The faculty-to-student ratio is more than impressive, with skilled and highly qualified professionals who are interested and approachable. They guide one properly, along with being regular to classes and taking the effort to make the students understand. The course curriculum for M.Sc. courses has been designed according to the guidelines of UGC strictly. The syllabus is very extensive. The faculty is very experienced and learned. Lab facilities are good. The syllabus is completed on time. Exams and other evaluation measures are conducted with seriousness.

Give an idea for developing new researchers.

Placements: Campus collaborated with the top search centres, organisations, ICMR, and CSIR for hiring. Emcure, Novartis, and Intas are the most expected recruiters in the campus drives for biotechnology graduates, with the package starting from 3.4 LPA to 8.5 LPA. Students with excellent projects and research are offered good pay.

Infrastructure: Molecular laboratory and plant anatomical laboratories are equipped with the required specimen fluid, specimens, and examination equipment. An assistant for the laboratories is always available to maintain the laboratories properly. I am disappointed with them, because they won't be satisfied with our research force to implement some other better ideas.

Faculty: The syllabus covers major topics like molecular biology, genetic engineering, plant Biology, and so on, while professors are highly familiar with and popular with all that coverage. As professors are brought up with discoveries that are quite inspiring.

The college has a good predictive sense.

Placements: There is a greater revolution journey of placement succession. About 45% of students got placed in the previous year, and now it is up to 80% of placement success. The average package offered is 4.78 LPA, and the highest package offered is 17.6 LPA.

Infrastructure: The college lavishly spends on construction, infrastructure, and its development rather than thinking about its principles, rules, and regulations. If any comments, issues, then it will be directly redirected to higher authorities like the HOD or principal. So we should be mindful in doing any activities.

Faculty: Regular tests are conducted to test students' preparations for exams. I'm much more admired with teachers' elegance and their style of handling the class so effortlessly. Teachers have sufficient knowledge about the subjects and are more beneficial to us.

Promising career opportunities made by them.

Placements: The probability of getting hired in various pharmaceutical companies, research centers, diagnostic centers, and biotechnology centers. The starting package offered to the students would be 3.58 LPA, and extended upto 13.5 LPA as the highest grabbed offers till now.

Infrastructure: The college was surrounded by a lot of organisations and corporate companies which would be the main landmarks in the city. This created some extra fame for the college and very much easier for students to visit the college. Transportation had been supported for 100+ KM from the college.

Faculty: Teachers were so transparent with the parents about our marks, that activity was immediately reported to the parents via phone calls. Parents were immediately called off even for the little problems. Like schools, we should get signed from the report cards issued by the examinations were the most difficult thing to clear without studying harder and deeper.

Faced a lot of challenges in completing the courses.

Placements: While thinking about my career growth, I had started to do my first internship in the second year of college biogenex a biotechnology company providing offers to all the talented students. As soon as end of the third year we had opportunities to explore for all the offers in the campus drives.

Infrastructure: The canteen lounges were so massive and thousands of students had their lunch at a time. Canteen food contact would be given to the private contractors providing quality food to the students. Individual hostel accommodations are provided for girls and boys students.

Faculty: Some of the teachers who were highly qualified and experienced were moved out of the college due to the sufficient payments provided to them. Only the teachers with less experience and some of the fresh graduates were appointed to handle all the subjects.

Review of Amrita School of Biotechnology, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham - Amritapuri Campus.

Placements: Students of biotechnology have the opportunity to get hired by companies like Serum Institute, Biocon, Merck, and various areas of the world. The payroll should usually lie between 3.5 to 8.9 Lacs for an annum. Mostly 70 to 80% of students got placed in the drives conducted by the college.

Infrastructure: Eligibility would vary from one course to another, for getting admitted into various courses as first step is to clear the entrance examinations arranged by the college. Mobile phone usage is strictly prohibited on campus, especially in the classrooms.

Faculty: Teachers usually have some benchmarks for the student's results. In the end, the result should be attained, because of such efforts provided by the teachers on us. Even though I cleared my examination in first class with distinctions, this credit fully goes to my teachers.
